What are you bafoons doing?! You've completely scrambled the game balance! I can upgrade my previously fully MUed Smoky+Titan M1 to Mk7 now. What's the point in grinding to Marshall anymore? I'm playing with players way above my rank in matchmaking now, but have equal equipment upgrades. How is this update supposed to encourage more players to spend money when you're now able to get max upgrade equipment at WO5?!

 

Why would you make all tanks without a skin the same, regardless of their upgrade level? This makes zero sense. You can't tell what modification the opponent is anymore. It's gonna make the game so bleak. 

 

I'm done if you're actually gonna proceed to implement the other announced changes and not revert to the old system.

Those upgrades are not gonna happen quickly and they won't be cheap.

And it's a one-time aberration. Anyone going forward that does not currently have mk7 will be limited by rank.

Short-term pain for long-term gain?

What is the long term gain?

You have max number of "old" MUs you can get per rank.

MKs are now split by rank.  The fact they botched conversion does not take away from the limitation imposed going forward.

I kinda think they could have just put a limit on upgrades by rank instead of completely reworking everything. At least those with mid level m3-4s will have fun over the next few weeks as they get to kick major butt. The rest, well who knows

Also kind annoyed that our profiles got wiped...I really enjoyed looking at peoples turrets and hulls used...tells a lot about them. Now, starting all over

Yeah - they might have made it simpler...

 

Wow - did not realize they wiped our profiles.  Brutal.

And of course all modules were un-equipped. Played a couple battles sans protection before I realized.

Yup! This has been a rough tanki day.

I'm torn: Part of me want to be blowing up tanks forever...part of me is quite frustrated with the way these ridiculous things are forced onto us, and really want to put tanki behind me...guess we will see which wins. I can understand mid level players hanging up the treads permanently

You'll be able to purchase Mk7 in the Garage once you reach the rank of image.png.60e575618ed285d5efa77dacc2557732.pngMarshal.

Sir ik that but the chat mod drako523

Before upgrading i did ask him about that he said that upgrade your current mk6 to 10/10 and get mk7 at the same rank!

 

I confirmed from him again and again!

He said Upgrade Your Mk6 to 10/10 and get Mk7 for free at the same Rank!

So, this update resulted in some lucky people with m2.10 getting mk7, and m1.10 getting mk6.  

 

Can anyone explain why everyone has different changes? My alt has smoky magnum and hunter m1.10, but smoky got changed to mk6.0, while the other two became mk5.3.

Listen, I accept the Mk1 to Mk7 thing, but please don't ruin this game by making all of them the same-looking tank. Every single person in this game loves that, and the fact that you feel the need to change it is absolutely absurd.

A Cautionary Tale

On my alt account I had a Dictator M2-7/10 so it got converted to MK6-1/10...not exactly how I would have calculated the conversion but pretty close....no beef.  So I am in HTML (I HATE the cumbersome HTML set-up) to see about kits and decide to go ahead and upgrade the Dictator one MU...from MK6-1/10 to MK6-2/10.  In the ridiculous microscopic print, I see that the upgrade costs 1000 crystals....cool....I pull the pin and get the upgrade.   My account balance is reduced by 4000 crystals.  I got Tankied. 

 

Be careful with this new system.  There may be many of these garfs and glitches.  I'm not going to do any other upgrading until things get settled in for a couple of weeks and let Tanki work out some of the bugs while the Wiki catches up for reference.  Don't get Tankied like I did. ?

Well, it looks as though Tanki has found a way to exclude Freebies from acquiring kits. 

 

OK, there are a couple of kits available for crystals, but the vast majority can only be bought with Tankions...lots and lots of Tankoins.  In fact so many Tankoins I would venture to say it is just about impossible to buy a kit with Tankoins from missions before the rank ceiling is reached, and you need more Tankoins for the next higher rank level.  Also, since kits are only available for a few hours every few weeks, it makes it pretty difficult for a Freebie to be in the right pace at the right time.  Possibly with the stars thing buying a kit as a Freebie might be possible, but I would guess that to earn enough stars to gather Tankoins a player will rank up faster than enough Tankioins come in.  Basically only buyers will be able to get kits from now on...it will be a very rare occurrence when a Freebie player will be able to get a kit they actually want.

 

Buyers, on the other hand have complete access to advanced kits at all times because they can just buy Tankoins.

Yes, that's how Aternativa earns money. Tanki means a business & players are supposed to buy things in order for developers & other employees to earn money. SO i wouldn't complain about this new kits system

Have some more of the Kool-aid.  Of course they need to earn money, but the problem is they are ruining the game to do it.  ...Was this update with all it's downsides necessary?  Were many of these game crushing updates necessary?  I've never seen a company that is so abusive to their customer base.  Tanki is lost in greed and thinks nothing about quality of play only how to make more money and how to apply pressure tactics to accomplish this.

 

I believe they are squeezing the golden goose and will eventually discard it when they can get no more out of it.  Maybe they will be able to convert the game to all buyers and won't need the freebie players, but I kinda doubt the buyers will be in great enough numbers keep the game going.  Tanki has lost the SEA servers already and the Latin servers are dying in the next month or so.  China is down to a few hundred players during peak hours and the EU servers have lost significantly more than 100,000 players (potential income for AP) at peak hours in the last few years.  Is there a trend here?  Is that trend positive?  Look at this forum.  How many players like the updates that Tanki keeps inflicting on us?  Certainly not the majority by a landslide.   Wouldn't it be pretty easy to deduce that the majority of the players that aren't on the forum feel about the same way?  Could this be the reasons player numbers keep dropping and more than 100,000 players at peak times have been lost completely?
